Researchers are constantly working to find new ways to recycle polymers in order to go from a linear to a circular textile production. The European Commission has started a "new circular economy action plan" in oder to have actions taken toward a more enviromentaly friendly "circularity" in multiple economic sectors including textiles and plastics.

Scientists have discovered an easier way to get the biodegradable polymer Chitin out of crustacean shells. The method utilizes fruit-based fermentation, which results in a better quality of version of the polymer. Read more here:

Found in crustacean shells, chitin is a natural polymer that has many uses once processed. Now, scientists have developed a fruit waste-based fermentation process for getting it out of those shells – and the technique results in better-quality chitin, to boot.

RIKEN chemists have developed a polymer that can have its molecular building blocks taken apart and reasembled. This could allow us to manufacture more sustainanble plastics that can be reused. Learn more here:

A polymer that can be broken down into its molecular building blocks, which can then be recombined by either heating or cooling—but by different mechanisms in each case—has been developed by RIKEN chemists. This could lead to intrinsically recyclable and sustainable plastics that depolymerize on...
